  Hawaii Island is known for its ranching and farming, part of its longtime paniolo culture.  One event marking that connection is underway on the Hamakua Coast--Honoka'a Western Week.  It features activities in town every day and also underlines some local family history.  HPR's Sherry Bracken is on Hawaii Island and has the story.
